As well as letting gamers get to grips with the full game prior to launch, the Splatoon 2 preview will also showcase the title’s new spectator mode and LAN play mode that will allow up to 10 docked systems to play on a single, wired LAN.

According to Ninty, “Local wireless play is perfect for your regular gaming get-togethers, but LAN Play is where it’s at when you want to organise a serious tournament event with your fellow players.”

Within the preview, those eager to try the paint-heavy game will be able to test four weapons, including revamped takes on the traditional Splat Roller and Splat Charger, as well as all new weapons including the Splat Dualies.
